I am so sorry. Hoever getting to go private might be a good thing!!!

I know I am ntz. So tell her right now you just can't deal with her.

Glad you ranted. Hopefully you continue to rant it does help. Well sometimes. I do know what you mean.

My mom is BP herself and still doesn't understand anything!
Sorry you are dealing with this! Hugs, B

I'm so sorry. Family can be such a bitch. Literally. I have been on disabililty since 2000, unable to hold any sort of employment, in hospital 13 times, and my mom said to me around thanksgiving, "Well, we never know how you are." SO ASK ME.

I hear you, dear!

My mother tries to understand as best she can she has a sister who was dx manic depressive and one who is hypocondriac w/severe self medicating problems both are in partial assistance nursing home, so she can somewhat understand when I talk about how I'm feeling. Sometimes I go to hubby first, sometimes her first, sometimes my youngest daughter. She ought to be a warden for a prison, she won't give an inch and always has these common sense answers to all my mania and depression that leaves me stunned. My father gets kind of quiet, I know he worries but I don't think he really understands. He is ex-air force (career) and I don't think he has ever done anything wrong in his life (seriously). So that is intimidating to me, but I know that he loves me, it just seems somewhat more conditional that with my mom. I am adopted by the way so I was selected not expected although I have met my biological mother & father, it was a real let down and thank God that I was raised in the environment that I was otherwise I would probably be worse than I am now or would have succeeded in one my suicide attempts.

Isn't it amazing the depths of denial that a person can cling to. I feel your pain. My mom is a Cleopatra as well. She keeps saying "you don't have bipolar", "the docs are crazy" and "you can snap out of this." What a joke!

isn't a mum a kind of flower?

I understand how you feel. How frustrating it is when "normal" people play stupid! I hate that!

I've had a longgggg 4 days and tonight will be my first date with "normal" people....(I've been coming here for my strength and support since monday)....

I am a bit concerned that I may react to their ways of thinking....I feel like I'm putting myself in the lions den and pray my Lithium keeps me on the straight and narrow.

Hope your feeling better soon. xoxoxoxoxooxoxoxo

And if she has so much money,can she not buy her own cigs,that really pises me off xxxxxxxxxx
